I thought that we were stuck in this together
a few feet deep but you're a drag towards the earth.
I forgot how we made this connection,
a thread so thin and yet we pulled until it dug into our calloused hands,
your fingernail in my coffin.
It's like we've always been distant, like we never met,
afraid of freezing with eye contact,
we're drifting further apart yet I still feel you here,
yet I still feel you here, yet I still feel you here.
You said you buried my demons face-first in the dirt,
the moment I turned around I choked, you tried to let them go.
It was too late to see you're not worth it.
We were vibrant, a pulse with a fixed end
nourished or barely kept alive by circumstance.
In a moment of disruption, let it run its course,
step back and let it go.
I've put up with my apathy for far too long,
you're heading home, you were there, now you're here while I'm gone.
My skin is translucent and you have become
a stranger with weakening eyesight at 21.
Is it fair to leave in jealousy or cold-hearted naivety?
Should we cherish every memory? Maybe, but
this time we'll let it go.
